NEW AMERICAN HANGARS

[FWAAA]

Dam I can't believe I'am defending 700, but the story was AA was building a hangar
In Mexico City not how many flights a day into Mexico City. Runways claim of AA
building a hangar with here-say and a picture that looks like a shipping and receiving
building for AA cargo that is being renovated makes his claim very hard to believe.

Agreed. I think someone wanted to stir the pot with some "hangar tales" and figured the readers here were as gullible as the OP's co-workers.

If you had a union that didn't give the company just about anything it wants, would you be worrying about outsourcing?

How many RJs does AA fly that arent staffed by APFA FAs?

I'd think TUL is a great example of why it's irrelevant how many mainline flights a day there are into a MRO base...

They wouldnt ferry an airplane to a foreign MRO for a line B-Check which is only an overnight check.

Depends -- if it's a location that could support mainline service (not necessarily having it today), it wouldn't be an unreasonable consideration.

To ferry a plane for an overnight B-Check?

That is a waste of time, money and resources.

 

[eolesen]

Ferrying for a B check, yes that's unlikely.

What I'm suggesting is that it's not out of the question to converting a positioning flight from a ferry to a revenue flight if there's incremental revenue opportunity *and* it makes sense to be doing the check at a currently offline location. Those decisions could be made in tandem.

It's been done before by different airlines, and will be done again.

Haven't seen any member of management at any level who were concerned about wasting time money or resources since Bob Crandall left.

Don't know. Don't care.  The AE flight attendants were never APFA because long ago they decided to go with AFA rather than the in-house union, APFA.  Their decision, not mine.
